I hope this comes through better. Max

I'm glad you brought up this subject. I'm sure there are many people
with depressive/psychological illnesses that could benefit from some diet
changes! Right here in Holland, there were some experiments done
many years ago in a mental hospital with dietery intervention (I think
gluten and milk-free), but these were never followed up. I suffered
from depression for nearly 20 years, before I changed my diet.
I never went to any 'shrinks', but I certainly thought I was crazy!!!

My dietary restrictions are so many! I can't eat gluten, dairy, corn,
egg yolks, soy, most beans, most fish, and many sorts of fruit and vegetables.
People ask me how I do it, but the diet I am on (called Sara's Diet) is
properly balanced to contain all nutrients, plus important supplements
like pancreatic enzymes. There are always foods that I can eat to replace
those I can't. I only have trouble finding commercial gluten-free/dairy-free
products that i can use, because most contain soy and/or corn. The milk
supplement I use is called DariFree, and is potato-based.

I have to lie in bed from 12 hours to 3 days, depending on the severity,
while my body tries to remove the offending substances. The
reactions are: shaking, nausea, distorted hearing, vision and mental processes,
withdrawal (curling up in a ball and not moving for hours). It is an allergic
reaction, not an emotional/psychological illness as you rightly state.

There is not much literature on these sorts of reactions, but the work
now being done on autism will, I believe, lead to the understanding of how
diet can help in other ways.
